Rory McIlroy's refusal to speak to the media took center stage at the 2025 US Open. McIlroy, 36, previously came under the scanner when he refused to speak to the media after the drivergate at the 2025 PGA Championship. At that time, the Northern Irishman was criticized for refusing media requests.
However, when he refused to speak to the media at the US Open, the criticisms intensified. That's probably one reason why many fans are still not able to stop criticizing the 2025 Masters winner. A glimpse of this could be seen when Humphrey, the security dog at the Travelers Championship, was seated before the media.
